The Bermuda government has created a cryptocurrency development department. During a press conference on Wednesday, the island's Premier David Burt and Homeland Security Minister Wayne Kyne announced the creation of a working group aimed at creating an enabling environment for cryptocurrency and ICOs.
The task force consists of two groups - the blockchain legislative and regulatory affairs working group and the blockchain business development working group, which will also work on development of the technology, according to the press release.
John Naroway, chairman of the blockchain business development working group, said:
"There are huge opportunities in the cryptocurrency space and these opportunities need to be seized as soon as possible."
In addition, the Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) is working with the government on to expand the project.
According to Ross Webber, CEO of the BDA, this collaboration is aimed at attracting new business to the island, increasing GDP and creating new jobs in this area.
Premier Burt also spoke about plans to create an accounting system based on blockchain technology.
